Little Moments

Chapter 5: Soup

Wayne knocks gently on where he knows the Lair's secret entrance is, waiting patiently until a disgruntled blue alien steps out into the night air.

"What the Hell do you want?" Megamind grumbles, rubbing sleep out of his eyes, looking grumpy enough to appear much more intimidating in his hazmat pajamas than he usually does in spikes. "I haven't done anything this week."

"I know you haven't. I, um, I'm not here to..." He trails off at the other's glare. Oh, this was a really bad idea, wasn't it? But he's already here, he can't really turn back now. "I heard– Roxie said that Minion's sick?"

Megamind straightens, eyes flashing, suddenly much more awake. He hisses, an inhuman sound. "You come near him and I swear I'll–"

Wayne doesn't let him finish, instead stuffing the canister of soup he brought into the startled Villain's arms. "I... Tell him... I hope he feels better soon!"

He flies off before he gets a response, not wanting to be yelled at. Of course, if Nana Scott's recipe helps the little Fish, then even getting yelled at is worth it.
